2025 Lamborn-Hughes Institute
The August 5-7 Lamborn-Hughes Institute will welcome 10 university teams to work on defined team projects with Institute faculty and in a collaborative, supportive environment.
About the Institute
UERU's Lamborn-Hughes Institute (LHI) is hosted at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. The Institute is dedicated to the proposition that undergraduate education and student success require innovative student-centered approaches and collaborative partnerships across units, including academic and student affairs.
Lamborn-Hughes Institute teams engage in immersive study and discussion, benefit from structured networking between institutions, and gain insights from plenary sessions, all with the support of experienced LHI faculty. Each team, typically composed of leaders from a variety of units (e.g., academic and student affairs; enrollment management; diversity, inclusion, and equity; institutional research, etc.), develop campus-specific action plans. These plans, which each team presents on the final day of the institute, focus on issues such as closing student achievement gaps, increasing graduation success, enhancing faculty partnerships, promoting curricular and co-curricular engagement, and Boyer 2030-inspired equity/excellence initiatives.
The Lamborn-Hughes Institute celebrates the collaboration between Alan Lamborn, former CSU Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs & UERU Executive Director, and Blanche Hughes, CSU’s current Vice President for Student Affairs and UERU Board Member.
